MM Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 i know you might not belive it, but there is a lady who comes through my station most days, and on a nice day like today, she usualy has a metal detector in her rucksack. If she is "coming" through your station it isnt a metal detector it is a rampant rabbit.... :look: just dont plug her in, whatever you do. :look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 National minimum wage is £5.52, take off the cost of your equipment and batteries etc. and if you have been doing it for more than about 50 hours then you need to find two of them suckers to break even. Besides, I just checked my plants and one has sprouted platinum encrusted diamonds, so poke that in your detector and smoke it. No, they are not chilli plants, my greenhouse is full of ganja and that's green gold round these here parts..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 There were those two fiftysomething sandal wearers in Suffolk / Essex border that found a king's ransom - a couple of million quids worth. I heard that with the extra money they had purchased new metal detecting equipment, a limited edition of "Risk" the board game and had increased their monthly housekeeping to their mums :look: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tosspot Posted May 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 I would hope that the working of a soft malleable metal such as gold, would pre-date the Iron Age considerably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Oh my lord, I have just seen this thread. I am lost for words. No hang on, a couple are making their way out.... 'Sad' and '*******'. Lads, sometimes sharing is not good. If I was out metal detecting at the weekend and someone said to me "hey what did you do at the weekend?" I would rather say that I was busy signing the sex offenders register than confess to metal detecting. ROTFLMFAO That brightened up my day!! :look: :look: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mungler Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 TP any update? Did you get the Bud cap formally appraised? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tosspot Posted May 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Coin bloke i went to see was out buying, but was reliably informed the coin is Celtic and from a Sussex tribe. The weight of the coin is short of being solid gold and is probably gold coated bronze this could mean the difference of hundreds of £s. Still a good condition find that may have layed lost for 2000 yrs. Shall return tomorrow for a valuation, but i think the Krieghoff may have to go back on hold.

Take a look. i got a mate of mine to take a look at it and apparently its from the ICE AGE. but apperantly its very unstable and depreciates rapidly. an not worth much Edited May 9, 2008 by Taff Mason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
